"The hospital has put my mom into The Pines at Poughkeepsie Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation. They've had to move her a few different times, but she's on a floor now where she has 24-hour monitoring. Her mind is pretty not there, but she's still able to get up and move around a little bit, so they have to really watch her, and they have to take care of her a lot. It's a rehab/nursing home, and it has four floors. One floor is for rehabilitation, and then another floor is for like people that need help, but they can do stuff themselves. It goes different levels like as your mind goes. It's nice for being in the city. It's set in like a wooded setting, so it's nice. It's not a city setting, even though it's in the city of Poughkeepsie. The staff have really been great. Everybody has been friendly and quite helpful. My mom had gone there for rehab, and when I brought her home, she needed a shot, and this medicine costs $1,500. Now, we could not afford it, so I called The Pines and the head nurse, and they had given me all of her medications that they had left because it was all done in her name, so everything that they had they gave to me (except for that shot). Well, a day later, the nurse called upstairs to the floor my mom was on and asked if they had sent it back down to the pharmacy yet, and they had not, and it was still up in the refrigerator with my mom's name on it. This nurse went and got that medication and drove it 45 minutes one way to my mom's house and gave her that injection she needed. That was like above and beyond. She's the head of the nurses in that building. I haven't eaten there, but I've seen what my mother has gotten, and they definitely give very nice meals there. When they ask for snacks, like my mom wanted something sweet, she wanted a cookie, the nurse went and got her two individually wrapped cookies and brought them to her. As for activities, they were doing a barbecue for the people that could do it. One day last week when I was there, they had all these little old people in their wheelchairs outside having a barbecue. My mom is at a level where she really can't do any activities, but they do have some very nice activities. Once a month, they have this thing in the foyer when you go in and some of these people set up a stand and they have this big popcorn machine with popcorn, and they bag it like all these little individual snacks, and all the money that they earn from that goes for the patients' activity. That's really nice. They do a lot for them. The rooms are a little small, and there are two beds to a room. You just get a dresser and a little stand-up closet, and then you have to share a bathroom with no shower. The showers are out in the hallway. But the facility is nice, and they do a lot of activities with the residents that can do activities. My brother takes care of all the financials, but I know it is very expensive."
